In this episode of Houzz TV Live, designer Jena Bula of Delphinium Design shows Rick Spence a kitchen and primary bathroom she renovated for an empty-nest couple’s forever home in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the open-plan kitchen, white Shaker-style cabinets, a blue island, a porcelain tile herringbone backsplash and polished nickel finishes give the space fresh, modern-day style. A pantry wall hides a coffee station, while the hardworking island includes a paper towel holder and pullouts for garbage and recycling.

In the bathroom, large-format tiles minimize grout lines to make cleaning easier. Each of the two vanities has a storage tower with interior outlets for charging electric toothbrushes. And pampering features include heated floors; a jetted soaking tub; and a shower with body sprays, a handheld spray and a rain shower head.
